On the road again!
The cobra is back and the process of running in the donk has begun.
I've since put 350klms on the clock and it hasn’t put a foot wrong. Yesterday I took a few hours to weld, paint and fit a bracket to mount the stebel air horns in front of the main chassis rail (I didn't want to have it in the engine bay or near the intake for the radiator). It was really great to have some time just to poke around and play with the car after such a long distance relationship  .
We replaced the front tyres (goodyear 215,60,r15) with Bridgestone Potenzas REoo1 in a 225,60,r15 and increased the camber on the front quite a bit. In hindsight, the alignment was way out and it now handles on rails. Well at least the fronts do. The rears (BF Goodrich 295,50,r15) are simply not up to the job. Any mildly spirited throttle movement results in a squirming rear and some quick corrections. It could also be that the tyres that were on the car are just old and hard?
So can anyone recommend a good rear in a 275/285, 50/55/60, r15?
Other than that, I just need to find the time to drive the monster
